Sundays at Café Tabac - The Podcast
"Sundays at Café Tabac" is both a documentary film and a podcast that explores the legendary lesbian nightlife scene at the New York City club, Café Tabac, from 1993 to 1995. The podcast, co-hosted by LGBTQ+ nightlife icon Wanda Acosta and Karen Song, features personal coming-out stories and reflections from the community that frequented the club. It highlights the club's significance as a space of refuge, self-expression, and cultural impact during a time of social change and the AIDS crisis.

Episode 12: Filmmaker, Elina Street
ELINA STREET, is a Franco-American filmmaker based in Brooklyn, NY and co-director of "The Lesbian Bar Project," the documentary film and campaign dedicated to raising awareness for the alarming trend of lesbian bar closures nationwide. Elina and her team have also created a fundraising project with the help of Jagermeister's #SaveTheNight campaign, to raise $200K in critical funds to help save our bars.
In this intimate interview, Elina shares with us the seeds of this project through her coming out story and the vital role New York City's lesbian bars played in her own self-discovery and empowerment.
You can watch Elina and Erica's film at www.lesbianbarproject.com and we urge you to also consider making a donation through their website, to help save our bars.
The fundraiser runs only until the end of June, so please support this effort without delay.
Recorded at The Newsstand Studio at 1 Rockefeller Plaza in NYC. Special thanks to Joseph Hazan & Karen Song. Produced by Wanda Acosta
